Background Information
One of the goals of the Watertown Hockey Association over the past few years has been to reach out and develop a broader base from which to draw players. We have very successfully partnered with TI Youth Hockey to bring players and coaches together, and to share ice and other resources. This has allowed our travel teams to become more competitive.
The WHA Board of Directors now feels that it is time to reach out to the rest of the county and surrounding region. As such, we have made the decision to change the name of our travel program teams to the "Jefferson Jaguars." By renaming these teams with a regional name, rather than a more "local" name, we hope to attract players whose devotion to their local associations has previously tied them closer to home. Other parts of the state have seen great success with this approach. This would give our region's players a comparable opportunity.
